Exactly. It *is* overkill, but it *is* necessary. Erlang's (lack of)
namespacing support is just a bit awkward sometimes. Sigh!

Another option for getting the gateway into working shape is to
restructure it to have it run as a separate component, using the XMPP
component protocol to communicate with a separate ejabberd server... I
wonder how much effort that would be? It'd certainly an improvement over
the current plugin-style system.

Anyone care to comment on the possible merits or drawbacks of such a
restructuring?

Regards,
